Fight Between Gas and Telegraph oom
panies at San Antonio.
Special to the Gazette.
SAN ANTONIO, TEX Dec. 3l,-San An
tonic may st present be said to be in an
electric mudfle. The San Antonio Gas
Company several months ago, after very
spirited bidding, secured contract from
the council to light the city with electric
light, the plant TO be in operation by JAN
uary l, prox. It will be remembered the
gas company was erjoined on the
1lth inst. by the Western Union Te]e-
graph Company and the San Antonio
Electric Lighs and Power Company, 6
Louisiana rival corporation now operat-
ing, from erecting its poles and stretch
ing it's wires on Commerce street for fear
of il Jury to the telegraph lines now occu-
pylng the street. The Gas Company
proceeded to erect its poles on
other streets CT the city, and was to-day
erjoined By the Erie Telegraph and Tele-
phone Company, SO that it seems jmpos-
sible fer the gas people to carry out their
contract. It has been discovered
since the injur ction proceedings were
instituted tnas the Western Uaion
had never obtained the necessary
right of occupying She streets Of San An
tonic and the gas people now thresten as
q retahatory measure to demand thSt the
Western Union wires be ousted from the
city. Great interest is felt BY ell classes
Of citizens in the squsbole and Its out
come will be watched with anxiety.

Special to the Gazette.
FORT SMITH, ARK, Dec. 21.-Last
evening Davis James, prominent citi-
zen of the Choctaw nation, went to the
store Of W. A. WEIGH of Poteau, Choctaw
nation, thirty miles south of this city,
considerably under the influence of
liquor, and after few words
drew lis pistol snd shot at Will
WEIGH, but missed lis mark
and killed white man named Levi
French, shooting him through the heart.
After the killing he left the scene and is
at large, though deputy marshal has
been sent to arrest him. The murderer
is brother of Levi James, who was exc
cuted in 1884, under the Choctaw laws,
for numbering young Fulsom, being
shot to death ct Buck Greek
courthouse in the presence Of his wife
sud children, brother and sister. Davis
James will likely be hung for the crime he
committed yesterday if he is caught. He
has always stood we'll among his people,
having at various times during lie been
elected to responsible positions. Like
most Indians, he is dangerous man
when in his cups.
